Up close and personal with Depeche Mode and Nick Cave

The third episode of our new podcast “Was mit Musik” is here! This time it’s about sustainability in the music business, old white men in the executive floors and the desire for live events.

Guest at ROLLING STONE’s inside talk is Anne Haffmans, manager of the British label Domino Records in Germany. She also tells us what Nick Cave and Depeche Mode are up to backstage – and why she sees Julia Holter as the Patti Smith of a new generation.

The hosts of the ROLLING STONE Inside Talk are social media boss Hella Wittenberg and editor-in-chief Sebastian Zabel. Your podcast is about people who do “something with music”. To be more precise: from the people in the music industry, the people who make things possible and the decision-makers, the label bosses and the organizers. We talk about topics that move you and the scene. Vinyl scarcity and streaming remuneration, tour disasters and surprise successes, diversity and sustainability, backstage stories and favorite records.

Guest in the first season:

Christopher Ellinghaus

The boss of the indie label City Slang talks to us about the magic of discovery and development – and about the joy when a band like Lambchop is suddenly on everyone’s lips. He shares what it was like touring with Nirvana, signing deals with Courtney Love and opening your own starred eatery.

Anne Haffmans

The manager of the British label Domino Records in Germany explains why the industry still has a lot to do in terms of diversity and how much she misses concerts, why she is still the “Muddi” for Depeche Mode fans and why in Julia Holter she is the Patti Smith of a new generation sees.

Ulf Zick

From the former managing director at Universal Music, who now works at Swiss music tech company Utopia, we wanted to know what it’s like to be backstage with Billie Eilish and meet Campino in the garage, how much streaming has changed the music economy and whether music can still change society today.
